Journalist's Resource

2024

This web portal surveys and summarizes news topics useful for journalists, educators, students, and the general public through a research lens. It includes a free searchable database of research studies and reports related to government, economics, environment, politics, society, and international news, with key points synthesized and reformulated to be accessible to a broader audience. The portal also offers tip sheets on journalism skills, primers for important topics, and syllabi of sample curricula on topics ranging from politics and health care to law and business. The site is hosted and maintained by the Harvard Kennedy School as part of the Carnegie-Knight Initiative on the Future of Journalism Education.
